Guitar Recital: João Carlos Victor

Winner of the 2015 Tarrega Guitar Competition, Joao Carlos Victor brings us a captivating and imaginative program with numerous transcriptions of his own and a premiere recording of music dedicated to him with Paulo Rios Filho's dramatic Repeter. The music of John Dowland stands at the heart of this album, the mystery and melancholy of his chromatic fantasias providing moments of reflection between the theatricality of Rodrigo's Invocacion y Danza, Tarrega's luminous mazurkas, and Castelnuovo-Tedesco's brightly neo-classical Sonata.
